“…There could be many factors that have caused the variation in predictors among the students of different years. One is self-efficacy theory, that explains that people perform task that they believe are capable to perform, whereas, they leave those in which they judge themselves to be incompetent [ 17 ]. Self-efficacy when reaches at a certain threshold does not inhibit behaviour, however, a greater frequency in behaviour is not achieved with additional gains in self-efficacy.…”

Purpose: There are unfavorable opinions connected with rubber dam isolation amongst dental students during adhesive restorative treatments. The aim of this study was to investigate the various barriers to practicing rubber dam isolation during dental procedures and provide necessary insight towards implementation of rubber dam among undergraduate dental students in Jazan. Materials and methods: A pre-validated questionnaire in English entitled Rubber Dam Isolation Survey (E-RDIS) based on the Capability Opportunity Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B) model of behavioral change wheel was responded by 226 university dental students.Results: The satisfaction of training was highest among sixth year students (Mean=3.57, p<0.001). Fourth year dental students scored higher in the capability (Mean=3.18) and were more highly motivated to use rubber dams (Mean=4.21). Third year students were more likely to use rubber dams in anterior teeth (Mean=3.52) whereas fourth year students use rubber dam in posterior teeth (Mean=3.74). Lack of motivation was found to be the significant barrier influencing rubber dam usage (odds ratio (OR)=12.1; 3.74, p<0.05). Conclusion:The satisfaction with training differed among the students of different years. The rubber dam technique might be used more frequently if it were made clear to students that mastering it would be necessary for them to receive good grades.
